From both below and above, Matterhorn stands as a truly spectacular mountain, with a shape that is truly unique and serves as an excellent symbol of Switzerland. During a flight to Zurich with Swiss Airlines, the pilot treated us to a breathtaking view of this iconic peak from the skies on a beautiful day. Simply magnificent!

Better visit after May when the snows are not covering the most areas.

I Just Climbed this Iconic Mountain. It’s a Amazing Climbing up and Down takes similar time. Hike from Zermatt to Hörnlihütte is also very Advance and Beautiful. People wo don’t want to walk all the way to Hörnlihütte can take a Cabelcar to Schwarzsee then 3 hrs hike. Amazing enjoy

It’s beautiful!!! Better to take train to go up because you can stop anywhere you like….coffee, pictures or activities. Start earlier as you can because the shop close mostly at 4pm. It’s good for the whole family.

The Matterhorn in Switzerland is an absolute marvel of nature and a true gem of the Swiss Alps. This iconic mountain, with its distinctive pyramid-like shape, offers an awe-inspiring experience for both outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking breathtaking scenic beauty. From the moment I laid eyes on the Matterhorn, I was captivated by its sheer grandeur. Its towering presence against the backdrop of the surrounding Alpine landscape is truly magnificent and leaves you in a state of wonder. The Matterhorn is a sight to behold at any time of the day, but it truly comes alive during sunrise and sunset when the golden hues illuminate its majestic silhouette. The Matterhorn is a playground for adventure lovers, offering a plethora of activities for everyone. The most popular activity here is mountaineering, and the challenging ascent to its summit is a dream come true for passionate climbers. For those looking for a less arduous adventure, there are numerous hiking trails that offer stunning views of the mountain and the surrounding valleys. I highly recommend taking the Gornergrat railway, which provides a breathtaking panorama of the Matterhorn and the surrounding peaks. Visiting the Matterhorn in winter is an experience like no other. The ski resorts in the area, such as Zermatt, offer world-class skiing and snowboarding opportunities, with well-groomed slopes catering to all skill levels. The snow quality is excellent, and the panoramic views from the slopes are simply breathtaking. I had an incredible time gliding through the pristine powder and enjoying the exhilarating slopes. The Matterhorn region is also known for its charming alpine villages, such as Zermatt, which offer a wonderful fusion of Swiss hospitality, stunning architecture, and delectable cuisine. From cozy chalets to high-end hotels, there are accommodations to suit every preference. The restaurants and cafes in the area offer a delightful selection of Swiss delicacies, from hearty fondue to mouthwatering raclette. The Matterhorn is not just a physical marvel but also holds great historical and cultural significance. The mountain has long been a symbol of Swiss identity and has captivated countless artists, authors, and explorers over the years. Learning about the local legends and stories associated with the Matterhorn adds an extra layer of charm to the overall experience. In conclusion, the Matterhorn is a majestic, awe-inspiring mountain that offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, adventurers, and those seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Swiss Alps. Its striking presence, coupled with a range of outdoor activities, charming villages, and a rich cultural heritage, make it an absolute must-visit destination. A visit to the Matterhorn is an experience that will leave you in awe and create memories that will last a lifetime.

This peak has incredible views from many places, but my absolute favorite is from Rifflesee Lake. The scenery there is truly spectacular and worth a visit.

Life changing experience visiting. Keep in mind you can't actually visit the peak without hiking to it and that requires special gear. The best experience is getting the lift up to the Glacier Paradise and enjoying the views along the way. Might get a little light headed from the altitude though.

The view here is magnificent. I used to see this mountain on my geographical textbook, how amazing it is to see the mountain in person. I suggest that you can take the train to go on the top of the mountain and see the view up there. You can see the Matterhorn at a good place. But I think the utility pole there makes the photos don’t look perfect. To solve this problem, you can go hiking down the mountain, then you can have a perfect angle for photography.

It's a must-visit place when visiting Switzerland.

We loved this place. This was our first visit to Switzerland and Zermatt being the first place we visited. Perfect location for hiking with a beautiful view of the Matterhorn and lakes.

The beauty of Swiss Alpine beyond words to describe. The journey to the mountains was a lifetime experience and memories which i can only afford once to travel but shall be in my memory bank until it get corrupted😳 Sangat cantik( too beautiful) The pictures below also showed some very old houses at Zemmart which i was truely amazed on the construction made by the olden days folks and they stay strong till today to be shared by us in this century.Lovely to see the landscape of swiss where the citizens and authorities made effort to maintain the identity of their buildings eventhough some has been abundunt.

Great hike up to Hornlihutte and outstanding views. The hike is strenuous from all directions but worth it. You can take a cable car half way up (or back down). Bring lots of water and sunscreen. If you’re feeling adventurous, combine with glacier hike. The views of Matterhorn were best at sunrise

Didn't go up to the peak but look from the station is already beautiful, especially on a sunny day. Once in a life time so, why not!!!

Wow.. the mighty Matterhorn.. the cable car to the top is amazing. The views are amazing and the price isn’t too bad compared to other mountains like Jungfraujoch. I would rather come here as it has a lot more to do. There are nice walking paths and a small lake at the top. We also took the go karts down which was an amazing experience. The only downside was we had to wait nearly 3 hours for the go karts so go early ! This mountain is truly amazing. There is also an ice cave which is pretty cool and a slide which is very cold but fun!

The Matterhorn - Majestic Alpine Icon of Switzerland The Matterhorn, standing proudly at the heart of the Swiss Alps near the town of Zermatt, is a symbol of alpine grandeur and a pinnacle of natural beauty. Revered for its iconic pyramid shape, the Matterhorn captivates the imagination of travelers, mountaineers, and nature enthusiasts alike, offering an awe-inspiring spectacle against the backdrop of the Swiss skyline. Unrivaled Beauty: The Matterhorn's sheer, symmetrical pyramid form is a testament to the forces that shaped it over millions of years. Its snow-covered peak, rising to an elevation of 4,478 meters (14,692 feet), pierces the sky with a dramatic allure. Whether bathed in the warm hues of sunrise or bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight, the Matterhorn's beauty is a constant marvel. Mountaineering Legacy: The Matterhorn is a magnet for mountaineers seeking the ultimate challenge. The mountain gained international fame after the first successful ascent in 1865, a feat that tragically claimed the lives of some climbers. The Hörnli Route, the most popular ascent path, continues to attract experienced climbers, offering both a thrilling adventure and a deep respect for the mountain's formidable nature. Gornergrat Railway: For those seeking a more leisurely encounter, the Gornergrat Railway provides a scenic journey to the Gornergrat summit, offering unparalleled views of the Matterhorn. The observatory at Gornergrat provides a panoramic vista that includes not only the Matterhorn but also a breathtaking array of surrounding peaks, glaciers, and the picturesque Zermatt valley. Seasonal Splendor: The Matterhorn's beauty changes with the seasons. In winter, its slopes become a playground for skiers and snowboarders, while the surrounding landscapes transform into a winter wonderland. In summer, wildflowers bloom, and hikers explore the scenic trails that reveal different facets of the mountain. Each season offers a unique perspective, ensuring that the Matterhorn remains a year-round attraction. Photographic Marvel: Photographers from around the world are drawn to the Matterhorn's photogenic qualities. Whether captured against a clear blue sky, surrounded by swirling clouds, or mirrored in alpine lakes, the Matterhorn provides endless opportunities for capturing its majestic presence. Zermatt Charm: The car-free village of Zermatt, nestled at the base of the Matterhorn, complements the mountain's allure. Quaint chalets, charming streets, and a warm hospitality make Zermatt an ideal base for exploring the region. The town's ambiance perfectly complements the majestic backdrop of the Matterhorn. In conclusion, the Matterhorn stands as a timeless symbol of Switzerland's alpine splendor. Its beauty, steeped in mountaineering lore and embraced by the picturesque surroundings of Zermatt, creates an experience that transcends the ordinary. Whether gazing at its summit from afar or standing in its majestic presence, the Matterhorn invites all to witness the grandeur of nature in its purest form. A visit to the Matterhorn is an immersion into the soul-stirring beauty of the Swiss Alps, leaving an indelible mark on every traveler fortunate enough to behold its magnificence.

Winter or summer it’s absolutely beautiful with many hiking options. Restaurants I think sometimes don’t pay to much attention and care due to high tourists circulation. There are a few small businesses ones definitely worth a visit.

Our lovely Matterhorn. This mountain is never boring… it is just magical… love it ❤️❤️❤️

One of the most heavenly places I’ve ever seen! Spectacular in every angles or perspectives! Also great views from the train going up from Zermatt to Matterhorn, every lil things here are magical.

What a lovely place. It's an enjoyable place. Nice weather, every ware ice on the mountain. Fantastic god creation. I like to go daily... 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️🇨🇭🇨🇭 no words to explain the beauty of the mountain...

An amazing natural beauty and the most pretty Swiss town. Everything is just perfect here. Amazing Ski 🎿 amazing food, beautiful town !! Just a jewel 💎

The Matterhorn: an iconic symbol of nature's beauty and human triumph. Its majestic peak captivates, leaving an indelible mark on all who encounter its grandeur.

We had very low expectations for the food quality and rode up for lunch in between ski runs. We’re were very pleasantly surprised. The space is beautiful, the food was excellent, and the views were spectacular! We loved it so much we returned for lunch the next day. It’s pricey but worth the price.

The top observation deck was closed due to a defect lift, so No panoramic view whatsoever unless you have a drone or venture deep into the snow. The glacier paradise was rather disappointing as the sculptures were minimal and not impressive. Jungfrau ice palace has better sculptures. They should have a nice gourmet restaurant on the top of Europe, but instead only a self service small restaurant w mediocre food. What a pity. Check out the concept at ICEQ where 007 was filmed. That’s the kind of restaurant one is looking for in a high end resort like Zermatt. The new lift w heated seating is rather impressive. Unfortunately w peak to peak tkt, you can’t get to plateau Rosa, the Italian side.

One of the most magnificent viewing balconies in the Alps. Great view of Matterhorn, Weisshorn and Zinalrothorn; after a few steps still Castor, Pollux and Lyskamm. In the middle of the most beautiful ski area in the world. From the Breithorn plateau particularly spectacular panorama.

Worth the ride up. After you get off the cable car, you'll immediately feel the change of altitude and temperature. I was wearing shorts but definitely needed a windbreaker and a hoodie. I brought a nice winter hat as well (highly recommend). There is a cinema room that will play a short film. When I went, it was focused on the extreme climbers you would trek to the different peaks around Switzerland. Matterhorn is NOT the highest in elevation. Very well made mini-documentary with a handful of seats. I stood for most of the film. The panoramic observation deck was breathtaking. FYI: the souvenir shop (very minimal) doesn't have a dedicated cashier - you have to purchase through the food line. I wasn't hungry so I asked people in front of me if I could bypass them to buy a beer (the food line is very slow). The beer was affordable considering it was on a mountain top (~$7 francs)

An amazing view of the surrounding alps. If you have a clear day, you get a great view of the matterhorn. However, the better view is the glacier field and the many, many peaks. Then you can go inside the glacier and look at the stratification with sediment. There are crevasses you can look into. They also have several ice carvings. The gondola ride up and down are also scenic so be sure to look around. We have the Swiss half price pass which also applies here so the cost was more manageable.

The ride itself gifts you with wonderful views of the Alps and the Glacier Palace itself is also amazing. We were careful to go there on a sunny day (we checked the weather every day and the webcams on Zermatt's main tourism site) to enjoy our trip the best we could, specially since the ride is so expensive. I just find ridiculous that even the bathroom is payed, 2 CHF, when you have already spent more than 80 CHF per person for the ride, plus whatever you eat at the café (and we didn't ski, that's also extra for the ski lifts). Very expensive, too much really, but you do get to see something amazing.

Europe's highest mountain station. The views at the observation deck were beautiful. Also on the way up and down, you get a full view of the massive Matterhorn. There are also several activities you can do at the top, such as visiting the Glacier Palace and chilling at the Cinema Lounge. After all the fun, you can eat at the restaurant, which serves pretty decent food.

The first cable car up swings more than other cable cars we have been on, which made us feel a little uneasy. And at one point along the journey our cable car stopped briefly mid journey. At the top there’s a restaurant, ice sculptures in glacier palace and that’s about it. More so for skiers. Not worth the money really. 2 euros to use the toilet here. But it’s free to use the toilets at the station down from here.

Highly recommend making your way up there it's totally worth it even though the price is a bit much. The glacial exhibits are mind-blowing and a fun activity to do if you don't want to go outside since it's freezing and there is always snow there. We went in August and on a good day you are able to ski there. The decision if it's allowed to ski that day is made at 06:00am by the staff. And the first lift up is at 08:30am. Our hotel offered a service to check if the lift will be going up or if the wind was too severe.

Visited in July 2022 and will never forget it. It was a little foggy at the top which was a bit of a shame but nothing like the feeling of being inside a cloud lol. I did suffer with altitude sickness whilst up there but my husband and sons were fine. And we visited near closing time so weren't up there very long so bear this in mind if you're prone to being affected by high altitudes (I didn't know I did until I was up there) but still had the best time 😁

AMAZING views and the ride up was incredible. However the Glacier Palace and the viewing point was closed when we went up which we did not realise, the cost remained €90 with Swiss Travel Passes. Would still recommend because it the views were unbelievable but it was slightly disappointing.

Highest gondola in the Alps, rising to a 3,883-m. summit with 360° views of other peaks & glaciers. an ice palace complete with glittering ice sculptures and an ice slide. It is very cold on the inside, make sure to grab layers if you're visiting.

One of our favorite places in our Switzerland trip. Just great view. Everything was perfect.

What a great experience, beautiful view of the Matterhorn and valleys surrounding it. As a bonus, a cool ice cave with with a bunch of ice sculptures.

Nice ride up if it is a clear day, spectacular views. On a cloudy / foggy day not sure if I would pay the 95 CHF per person price.

Go if there are enough breaks in the clouds! Even if you don’t go to Italy the views are amazing from the viewing platform. You can check on the Zermatt Matterhorn app to see the webcams. If it’s cloudy, they will still have the loft open and I can’t help thinking if you are not going to ski down then it’s a waste of time. BUT if views are good it’s GREAT.

The glacier paradise is near the peak of Matterhorn. However, this is not on the actual mountain which can be viewed in a distance from the glacier paradise The glacier paradise has a very nice observation deck from where you can directly watch the Matterhorn. Breithorn is visible on the other side of the observation deck. The glacier is accessible directly for skiing.

Excellent Skiing in the glacier! 🎿 There is a free viewing platform (12,740’) that’s worth a stop. The glacier palace (ice tunnel) is not worth the extra 12CHF. The cafe at the top also has a good view and if you buy something you can access the restroom or pay 2CHF.

Wonderful experience, the Gondola ride alone is breathtaking. Make sure to make the trip in the morning for the best views and have more time. Buy your tickets at the counter to avoid delays or cancellations due to bad weather and its half off with a swiss travel pass.

We had a wonderful time in Zermatt, to a large extent thanks to Katarina from Matterhorn Diamonds ski school. Katerina is an excellent and entertaining ski instructor, she will challenge you to step out your comfort zone, with a lot of fun, and thanks to her I have definitely improved my skiing skills a lot in just a couple of days. She took care of all the arrangements, lunch reservations in the nicest restaurants on the slopes and will ensure you have a hassle free day on the ski slopes while you become a better skier in the mean time.

Lukas was our guide and instructor for 2 half days. He was outstanding in all ways. We never skied Zermatt and we only speak English so we felt like a guide would be beneficial. We got way more than we expected. We learned the mountain, customs and got many tips to improve our skiing. He asked us if we just wanted a guide or some helpful instruction. We choose both. It was great fun and we learned so much. We also had peace of mind because we didn’t have to even think about a plan. If you are on the fence wondering if this is worth it, do it! Thanks Lucas.

Hello everybody, my instructor was Max, he is very good and qualified professional who will teach you everything. Very kind and amazing person. Thx for Matterhorn Diamonds for the good start in skiing and best experience.

My experience with Isabella and the Matterhorn Diamonds Ski School team was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I stepped onto the slopes, her expertise and passion for skiing were evident. Isabella's patient and personalized instruction elevated my skills to new heights, allowing me to tackle challenging terrain with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Isabella and her team to anyone looking to improve their skiing abilities while having an unforgettable experience on the slopes. Thank you, Isabella, for an incredible journey on the mountain! ⛷️🏔️

Our family of 4 from Malaysia had a fantastically fascinating and fun day at skiing. Mathias, the ski instructor from Matterhorn Diamonds was really very good. He explains things well and keep things easy to follow. He also made it fun and was very helpful throughout the session, even when we were at Flexrent getting our ski gears. Altogether a very lovely day and we want to thank Rowena, the Director at Mattherhorn Diamonds, for making it happen for us. Thank you.

Highly recommend. Easy booking and quick replies. Fair pricing. Had the privilege of working with Juan Lorenzo - whom I would work with again on any occasion. He has close to two decades of skiing experience and taught in multiple countries. His instruction style is so gentle and professionel and he’ll have you comfortable going down the slopes in no time.

We booked a private lesson for 2 with Matterhorn Diamonds 2 weeks ago and it was the best decision ever. We were fortunate to have Lukáš as our instructor, which completely changed the way I see and enjoy skiing. He was patient and always looking for our moves and posture, giving advices and building the confidence and proper mindset to approach any slope. We started with less steep blue slopes and gradually increased the difficulty ending up doing red slopes and having one of our best times on ski. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who feels the need to take a few classes and learn how to approach slopes, improve their posture and gain confidence. Thank you Lukáš and Matterhorn Diamonds for the best ski experience and for making me love this sport!

Matterhorn Diamonds were great to work with from start to finish! Some friends and I rented skis, boots, helmets, jackets and pants through their team and they coordinated a guide/instructor for our first day on the mountain. They accommodated all of my requests via email and were very prompt and friendly. I was so grateful for the wonderful ski day their team provided. Juan was our guide/instructor and he was absolutely splendid to spend the day skiing with. I have been skiing my whole life and consider myself an advanced/expert skier from Utah and he was able to provide helpful instruction on ways I could improve as the terrain here is different from my usual. The other skier in our party is more novice to skiing and she was very much improved and more confident at the end of the day with his expert instruction. Juan had such a detailed way of explaining ski movement making his instruction easy to implement on the slopes. He was knowledgeable about the mountain and it’s history/culture and accommodated everything we wanted to accomplish. He was truly wonderful and we so enjoyed our experience with him and the rest of the diamond team.

We used Matterhorn Diamonds two years in a row for our family's spring break trip to Zermatt and were beyond satisfied both times. All of the instructors/guides were friendly, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. They helped to make our trip smooth and super fun. They were especially wonderful with our children, so much so that we requested the same instructors this year. Juan and Isabella are AMAZING and we miss them already. Their patience, lovely manner of teaching and expertise made for such a great experience for all four of us. Their office was also really easy to work with and went out of their way to assist us with our requests. 5 ++++++ Stars for Matterhorn Diamonds!!

We had a great experience with Matterhorn Diamonds during our recent visit to Zermatt. My wife has skied in the past, but not in a few years, so we wanted someone to ski with her while our sons and I skied more difficult terrain. I communicated with Rowena via email and she was very helpful in putting together a plan. The instructor, Lucas, met my wife at our hotel, got her up on the mountain, provided excellent instruction, and was extremely patient with her. I highly recommend Matterhorn Diamonds if your are looking for a lesson or a guide for skiing in Zermatt.

This was my first time skiing, and I loved it! Our instructor, Juan, was excellent—patient and attentive. Despite the short holiday, We hope to return next year for a longer stay to master skiing. I sincerely hope Juan will still be there. We found Matterhorn Diamonds by chance, and they provided a fantastic skiing experience. Highly recommended! Thanks again, for your help when I was feeling unwell, and to the Matterhorn Diamonds team for their quick arrangements.

It’s been an incredible experience! Just in 3 hours Rowena taught me in a gentle & carrying way how to ski and got me on a blue slope! I’ve had an amazing time skiing by myself the following days and absolutely enjoyed it! You won’t regret booking with Rowena, she is very patient, yet ready to challenge you! Thank you once again Rowena! It’s been incredible!

Highly, highly recommend! I have had lessons with Matterhorn Diamonds two years in a row and both times had excellent instructors! This year especially my instructor (Juan) was amazing! He really knew what I needed and how to motivate and coach me! My entire skiing experience was much better because of him.

We had an amazing time learning to ski. Being the first timers we were hoping work with instructors who would not only be patient but also willing to teach the right way We must say that we found our dream instructors. Rest assured when we visit Zermatt we shall definitely be working with Juan and Ana They not only spoke fluent English, but also gave us a helping hand when it came to assisting us carry heavy skis etc Rowena was very helpful getting us scheduled in a very timely manner Folks if ur looking for individual instructions work with Matterhorn ski school.

Unexpected underground wonder! Never having visited Zermatt before, I was not aware of the story behind the rise in popularity of this small city. This museum describes the first attempts to conquer the Matterhorn and the history behind the Swiss and Italy rivalry on this quest. Interesting independently if you are or not a climber. Perfect for a rainy day if you don’t have anything else planned.

Loved the museum! They had some amazing artifacts and some great history about zermatt and the Matterhorn. Definitely worth the trip. They have lockers for free as well

Really cool museum on the history of Zermatt and the Matterhorn. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but once you get in there is a ton to see. It’s perfect for rainy days or a chill day. The price is covered if you have the Swiss Travel Pass like we did. We enjoyed our time at the museum and learned a lot!

A museum that showcases the life and history of Matterhorn through faithful recreations of the houses and display items related to the history of mountaineering in the Matterhorn and the surrounding peaks. Quite interesting and engaging to learn of the story of the mountain, with tons of information, and definitely one of the better museums in Switzerland. You get free entry with Swiss Travel Pass.

The Matterhorn Museum – Zermatlantis offers insight into the development of Zermatt. It shows the triumph and tragedy surrounding the first ascent of the Matterhorn. Is free with swiss travel pass. Spend sometime if you do have some spare time. Is a good way to have some understanding of the real story of the place.

This is a small museum displaying of how people from Zermatt lived in the old days & telling the history of the climbers trying to climb the Matterhorn. The entrance is on the ground level & the actual museum is on the lower ground floor. Our first feeling when we walked down the stairs was.... it was so damp inside! It has many displays, I particularly loved the interior of the old houses & the animals (i.e. Blacknose sheeps) displays. Unfortunately, overall the exhibition was not our cup of tea but it's still good for us to understand a bit more of the local culture & history of Zermatt. In my opinion, it's highly recommended for those who are interested in local history & especially for those who have a Swiss Travel Pass.

Museum has exhibits about Matterhorn history , it's very well organised and very informative. You can download the audio guide app to know about the details in English. Recommended for those who has interest in history of the place and culture.

Small museum to visit free entry for Swiss pass. Can scan QR code to download app to play the commentary of the exhibit. It’s only open from 3pm-6pm

Great place to visit on rest days or bad weather days. The museum has important historic artifacts and storyboards. We visited for around 25minutes.

You need an hour to do this. There are 4-5 rooms in the lower floor that displays about the strategic end to the first climb and also introduces you to other climbers of Matterhorn. There is one room with history of Gornergrat railways. Entry fees for adults is CHF 12. If you have the Swiss pass, entry is for free.

As far as local history museums go, this is one of the best anywhere. It helps that the subject matter is so iconic. The museum focuses on the scaling of the Matterhorn, and how the town culture developed around Alpine climbing. You'll find all sorts of artifacts like the original ropes and ice axes used to climb the matterhorn. The museum has three levels. The first is the main entrance, ticket booth, and gift shop. There are lockers to leave bags and hangars for jackets. The second level is below the street and is a metal grate walkway with historical items. The deepest and final level has the largest selection of artifacts and information. An audio guide is available in many languages but you'll need to download an app. Staff is minimal but does speak English.

If you want to understand the history of climbing, this is your heaven. If you have swiss museum pass and want to discover yet another place it will take you 10 minutes. Light system was not working on the day we visited and therefore they were giving a discount. Had to use phone flashlight to illuminate some parts. Liked the availability of free lockers. Water available at a lovely fountain just steps outside the museum. Have seen much more interractive history museums.

A museum that has been meticulously planned, allowing you to understand the history of the Matterhorn. It's hard to believe that people were already summiting it in 1865, and I can't bear to look at that rope – these individuals were incredibly brave! If you have an STP (Swiss Travel Pass), you can enter the museum for free. Be sure to check the afternoon opening hours, and when you're in Zermatt, don't miss this place.

Great museum about the history of Zermatt and the people who have climbed the Matterhorn and surrounding mountains. The museum looks small from the outside, but we were surprised by the extensive exhibition located underground. It's definitely worth a visit.

Terrific museum that is much bigger than it looks from outside. It tells the story of traditional life in Zermatt and the many arduous treks to conquer the Matterhorn. I would suggest taking the stairs all the way to the lowest floor first (be sure to scan the QR code for the free audio tour before you lose data in the basement!) and work your way around and back up, finishing with the movie theater to watch segments from the 1937 film.

Pioneers of alpinism are laid to rest here. Among these some members of the first successful climb to the summit of the Matterhorn, four out of seven died during the decent.

Very well maintained. Hurts your heart. There's a bridge next to it, good place to take photos or enjoy a nice view.

A local cemetery, with a corner dedicated to mountaineers who lost their lives climbing the Matterhorn, the mountain which overlooks the town of Zermatt. Take a quiet walk here to commemorate their lives. Well-maintained and much-visited by the community.

A very sobering and even sad place to remember those who Chose to Climb the Matterhorn and lost their young lives. Many were in their teens and early twenties when they met their end, before their lives had truly begun. The graves of the original group that was led by Edward Whymper are here as well. They summited successfully in 1865 but met disaster on the way down. The cemetery is located behind St. Mauritius Catholic Church and is open 24/7. It is well maintained and a very interesting place to visit.

There is a public park near by, it's a historical place for over 500 mountaineers memorial :) and they slept forever in peace

Nearby the bridge there is a scenic place to take photo and have a glace of Matterhorn peak during sunrise.

Very warm feeling here despite it being a cemetery. It was cool to look around and just be at peace with those who are gone. Beautiful view of the matterhorn and many headstones for those who died doing what they love.

Well worth the visit. Just stand there close your eyes and imagine how they felt chasing their dreams doing the impossible
